Ancient Desert Drone

珀西-格蘭傑鼓勵在整部作品中使用單一音高的 "drone"（類似于格蘭傑自己的作品The Immovable Do），這部作品就是獻給格蘭傑的。雖然該作品以其獨特的模式和原始的節奏展現了東方的魅力，但考威爾本人表示並沒有特別的創作意圖。這首為樂隊改編的曲目為管樂曲目增添了異國情調，深受歡迎。長度5:00

原文簡介:
Ancient Desert Drone was composed for orchestra in 1940 at the request of Percy Grainger, who encouraged the idea of using a single pitch “drone” throughout the work (similar to Grainger's own The Immovable Do) and to whom the piece is dedicated. While the work suggests an Eastern charm with its distinctive mode and primitive rhythms, Cowell himself stated there was no particular programmatic intent. This transcription for band is an exotic and welcome addition to the repertoire for winds. Dur: 5:00

Recorded by the Trinity University Symphonic Wind Ensemble – James Worman, conductor
